As I understand it, here's the plan -- others pls feel free to comment:

- to get pa stuff to work will require a number of arch-indep changes;
  these are not likely to make it into 2.4.19
- ergo, the earliest pa will work with upstream kernels is in the 2.4.20
  series
- in order to avoid doing the merging work twice (once now to acX, and
  then again to 2.4.20) we are going to hold off on trying to merge the
  rest upstream until 2.4.20 is out.....

willy made a good point that as much as possible we don't want upstream
pa bits to be newer than what we have in cvs, otherwise merging 
will be much more difficult later on.
